A great days sailing here in Dubai. we have a team of 2 pro sailors myself and Mischa Heemskerk and then 2 Oman sail project guys and then John Mckenna the commercial director of OC.

iShares team had a varied but good day. counting 2,4,1,3,3,2. there were plenty of thrills and spills on the course. no collisions other than that which Oman air had with the beach.

i am very pleased as this is the first regatta when i have sailed to my potential and it makes m realise how vital a good team is around you. thanks to Mischa we are all good around the track and with the team.

I was a bit anxious before this but i am taking charge and happy as larry at the moment. all good in Dubai hugh out.
